I have always been optimistic about the market trend, and this optimism did not come out of nowhere. I made good profits from the March peaks, and after eight months of that movement, I learned an important lesson: confidence in the upward trend does not eliminate the need for caution and actual benefit from opportunities.

The important thing is not nice words about the market, but smart actions during the rise. I sell and take profits when strong signals appear, because true optimism means enjoying gains, not just waiting.

Currently, the path of Bitcoin and Ethereum is very promising. Indicators suggest a strong possibility of reaching higher levels. But this requires us to pay attention and carefully calculate every step.

That's right, just shouting about a bull market is useless; you have to know how to sell properly. This guy is talking about what we discussed the day before yesterday. That March wave was indeed the time to take profits. The signals for BTC and ETH are pretty good right now, but be careful not to be greedy. Selling is the real way to make money... take it slow.

Well said, very clear-minded, not just someone who only calls out trades.

Getting a bargain and still wanting to sell at a good price—that's the winning mindset. To be honest, those who truly make money are never the ones shouting about a bull market all day long. Timing the top is an art; if you get it right, it's success; if you get it wrong, it's a tragedy. At the current levels of BTC and ETH, I think you should be cautious; greed is the beginning of losses. Instead of waiting, it's better to act decisively when the signals are clear—that's true optimism.

Well said, this is what a true expert looks like, not just shouting bullish slogans... Actual operation is where the real skill shows. If you make a profit, you should take it off the table and secure it, instead of waiting for it to keep rising forever... I've seen too many people get greedy and miss out. Right now, BTC and ETH do look quite comfortable, but I'm just worried it might be another cycle of chopping sideways again.

ngl this is exactly where most people get liquidated... bullish sentiment doesn't mean you skip risk management checks. literally saw the same "strong indicators pointing higher" narrative before three consecutive rugpulls last quarter. DYOR on those on-chain metrics before you ape in, fr fr

That's right, just talking tough is useless. You really need to know how to take profits. --- I also bought the dip during that March wave, and only later realized that not taking action is just paper wealth. --- BTC and ETH are indeed a bit interesting now, but I'm still observing. No rush. --- The most common pitfall in a bull market is overconfidence; taking profits when things look good is the way to go. --- Holding coins for a year is not as good as selling once; too many people don't understand this principle. --- When there's a signal, you should act; daydreaming for too long is pointless. --- At this pace... it still feels like it's missing the right timing. --- Those who truly make money keep a low profile and get rich quietly; most who boast all day are usually losing. --- Me too. I've learned that knowing when to cash out is the real way to make money. --- Even the best indicators are useless without execution, otherwise it's all just empty talk.

That makes sense. You can't just talk about a bull market—you actually need to buy the dips and sell the peaks. Just being bullish isn't enough; you need to know when to exit. That's the art of staying alive in this market. Bitcoin and Ethereum have been brutal this round... but I'm already prepared with my stop-loss knife ready. Talking bullish every day doesn't help; the key is taking profits. Otherwise, all that analysis is for nothing.
